Acute

Acute pancreatitis is a sudden, but reversible inflammatory process of the pancreas. The most common cause of pancreatitis is alcohol in western countries and gallstone in eastern countries. Approximately 80% patients have mild pancreatitis and 20% of patients have severe pancreatitis. About 15-25% of acute pancreatitis develops into severe pancreatitis. Mild pancreatitis has mortality rate less 1% (1, 2) where as the mortality rate of severe pancreatitis varies from (10-30) % depending upon…

Elias Abejo Acute Myelogenous Leukemia Symptoms: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is a fast-growing type of leukemia that rapidly creates not fully developed immature blood cells. There are three symptoms of acute myelogenous leukemia that require a medical diagnosis or determines that you have acute myelogenous leukemia. The first symptom that will occur in leukemia is fatigue, or extreme tiredness and lack of energy you will feel all the time. You will also have infections that will occur more…

An increasing body of experimental evidence suggests that lung/kidney interactions are involved both in AKI-associated acute lung injury (ALI) and renal consequences of acute respiratory failure. Positive pressure ventilation, changes in PaCO2 and PaO2 levels along with systemic inflammation participate in the renal response to acute respiratory failure. Positive pressure ventilation may modify venous return, cardiac after-load and may decrease cardiac output along with decreased renal blood…

(London et al., 2014). These different types include acute myelogenous leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia, with acute lymphoblastic leukemia being the type most commonly diagnosed in children (London et al., 2014). There are also chronic types of leukemia but they are very rare (London et al., 2014). Acute lymphoblastic leukemia takes up a total of 25% of all the different types of cancer diagnosed in children (London et al., 2014). Acute lymphoblastic leukemia has different…

reimbursement and legal issues (Kovacs et al., 2010). In an effort to identify low risk patients with acute PE for outpatient treatment, Erkens et al. (2011) conducted a research on the accuracy of PESI and sPESI by implementing a retrospective cohort study from January 1st, 2007 to December 31st, 2008 at Otawa Hospital in Canada. The authors previously assessed the safety of outpatient care for patients with acute PE in a study using discrimination criteria such as systolic blood pressure,…

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is defined as a decrease in kidney function occurring in the glomerular filtration ability of the kidney causing an increase in nitrogenous waste in the blood and in turn increasing the creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels (McCance & Huether, 2014). Other findings associated with AKI include, a decrease in urinary output and also accumulation of metabolic acids, and increased potassium and phosphate concentrations (Bellomo, Kellum & Ronco, 2012). The AKI is…

consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood (“Major Functions,” n.d.). Leukemia is a malignant cancer of the blood and bone marrow that affects this system and involves an abnormal growth of white blood cells (McGlaufin, Munger, and Nelson, 2015). Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a subtype of this disease and is most common in older adults, specifically males 65 and older (Turbeville, 2014). In AML, the bone marrow produces abnormal white blood cells, red blood cells, or platelets…

to decrease the severity and prevalence of asthma, the quantity of children who are diagnosed with asthma is continuing to rise. Rates are currently reported to be around 8-9% with a higher prevalence in Puerto Rican and African-American children (Acute Asthma Guideline, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, 2010). One of the reasons asthma is difficult to diagnose in young children is due to the various underlying diseases and etiologies that…

One case report about EGE presenting as acute pancreatitis due to milk allergy was published[10]. Another case report of EGE presenting as acute pancreatitis in a patient due to egg shell allergy was also published[11]. These reports indicate that pancreatitis, can, very well result from EGE. However, in our case, the patient did not have history of food allergy. A possible mechanism by which food hypersensitivity-related EG may cause acute pancreatitis is due to obstruction of the pancreatic…

My picture is a robot enjoying a sunny, spring day. The robot is wearing a purple bow made out of acute triangles and acute triangle earrings. In addition, the robot’s hair is a parallelogram and she has a square face. The eyes, nose, and ears are acute triangles. Her smile is an obtuse triangle which helps civilians know that she is elated. Also, the robot’s body is a rectangle. The middle of her body is a heptagon on top of a pentagon which is sitting upon a hexagon. This is her symbol which…
